Television
Production Handbook
The original
Television Production Handbook was written to help people use both
field and
studio television production facilities to communicate over public and
government 
access
cable television channels. It has become clear over the
years (as it should have been in the beginning) that lighting is the
same for
painters as it is for still photographers as it is for today's
videographers.
We are still trying to imitate the sun and the shadows it
creates.
Principles of composition haven't changed since the ancient Greeks,
digital
video notwithstanding. In the same vein, the principles of
editing remain
as constant as the principles of story-telling no mater how old or how
modern
the medium might be.
Please take a look at the discussion forum at
http://tv-handbook.com/discussion/.
Check it out or
just dive in.
While you are
free to browse through the handbook and
consider what we have to offer, you must not duplicate or
distribute it, in whole or in part, or incorporate any part into
any other work.

*Sirs,
I was fortunate enough to be able to use your Television
Production text book while in college. I lost my book in a fire
sometime after graduation. Is the book still in print and if so, where
can I purchase
it. It is one of the BEST books on
basis Television Production I've ever had.
Sincerely,
B. P.
*Thank you for
posting the production manual. It's fantastic!

From time to time we will try to update the glossary and
sections where new
technology is important to the art of story-telling. But even if you
can't find
mention of the fastest CPU or the biggest hard drive, we suspect a
review of the
basics of television might remind you why you really picked up a camera
in the
first place and help you do with it what you really need to do.
